I like staggered.

Also be sure that they are the correct size for the wall area where you are hanging them.

Staggered, but could you try the music notes above small picture - my feeling is light on top of heavy.

Do you think 2 gallery walls may look too cluttered? I hope a pro responds.

They're different enough in color, theme so that they don't directly relate. I would have a separation between the bird and the other two pieces. You could place the "note" directly above the framed quote because they do relate. the metal note could be at the same height as the bird pic. I'd start by placing the bird, then play around with the other two.

What do you mean by two walls? Can you show photos? Are you wanting to split these objects up and place on separate walls?

I remember this room now. Have you made any changes? I love your art and two gallery walls is far from too many.

Oka, so the bird has more visual weight, with color, texture. Consider the bird on the left, the quote to the right and placed on center with the quote (being smaller it will not be level with the bird, but their centers will be at the same level). The note could then be centered either above or below both pieces. I think above.

Regarding the hooks: there is something about the note that reminds me of a writer's "69" mark at the bottom of a piece of writing. That's random and doesn't apply because this is about music, however I still could see it at the center and lower. You also could move it if and when you have something you want to hang on that piece.

You have carried out black effectively in this space and will tie it up with these pieces placed on the empty wall.

On center, each piece's *center* will be at the same level. Love to see the photos!! When taken as a whole, which this should be, I think it may be higher on the wall than you might imagine, so that start with paper on the wall to see. In fact, you could lay it out on the floor and cut some paper around the whole, rather than separate pieces. Use that paper to eyeball where it should hang.

They're too close together. I prefer the second arrangement, but more separation.

Grouping appears too small for the wall unless the bird pic is 3' square.

I don't know if you give lessons, but I took music lessons as a child, and thought some of my teachers too corny to take seriously. Let Your Heart Sing IMO seems corny. I might aim higher than my students and make them reach for it. Just my two cents.

The quote is the only issue in spacing that I can see. How large is the framed quote? I think with a full gallery wall 3" makes sense.

Colored construction paper is my choice.

If you look for something that has the colors of your bird that would create balance for the whole. I've found myself in these dilemmas and always wish I had just gone ahead and did something. I'm now painting a mahogany cabinet that I debated about staining for years. It's beautiful painted and such a pleasure to see every day.

yay!

To make it a part of this grouping (which works well to create a theme-- well done), you might want to clip the hooks off the bottom of the musical note piece and paint the cut ends the color of the musical notes. Then yo could put the notes above the framed words -- "sing" -- piece. Consider spacing the pieces a bit farther apart and adding wall shelving in whatever configuration works to help frame your grouping to fit your wall and taste.
